However, it is difficult to interpret, and philosophical contradictions and counterintuitive results are apparent at a fundamental level. In this book, Laloë presents our current understanding of the theory. The book explores the basic questions and difficulties that arise with the theory of quantum mechanics. It examines the various interpretations that have been proposed, describing and comparing them and discussing their success and difficulties. The book is ideal for researchers in physics and mathematics who want to know more about the problems faced in quantum mechanics but who do not have specialist knowledge in the subject. It will also interest philosophers of science specializing in quantum physics"--Provided by publisherQuantum theorySciencePhilosophy.b1439280x17-01-2119-06-20991003820379707536LE006 Fondo Polezzo 482Ex libris Stefano Polezzo12006000182119le006gE50.61-l- 00000.i1594940017-01-21Do we really understand quantum mechanics1752560UNISALENTOle00619-06-20ma engenk00
